My Gift to You: The One-Click T-shirt Prep Script (Free!)
Ever spent an entire afternoon in that repetitive loop? Open image → Remove background → Check image size → Resize it → Set the DPI to 300 → Save as PNG → Repeat... only to realize you have 20 more designs to go? That time is so valuable, and it could be spent creating your next bestseller instead. I got tired of that soul-crushing, repetitive work, so I built a tool to automate the entire process. And as a thank you for being part of this community, I want you to have it, completely free. Introducing the "Remove Background & Resize for T-shirt" Script! This is a simple Photoshop script that does all the boring work for you, in a batch. You just choose your folder of designs, hit "Run," and go grab a coffee. Here’s exactly what it does: ✅ One-Click AI Background Removal: Uses Photoshop's powerful AI to instantly and accurately remove the background from your designs. 🚀 Auto-Resize & Upscale: Automatically resizes EVERY design to the perfect t-shirt dimensions (4500x5400px at 300 DPI), ready for Printify, Printful, and more. Yes, it will even upscale smaller designs! 📂 Batch Processes Everything: Point it at a folder with 5, 50, or 100 images, and it will process them all while you do something more important. - ✨ Preserves Transparency: Forces every file to save as a high-quality PNG, ensuring your backgrounds are transparent and ready to print. There’s no catch. This is a tool I built for myself, and I know it can save you hours of work every single week.

@Anthony Knight I know that "huge black hole" feeling so well, and I promise you're not alone in it. The key is just learning which 2-3 things actually matter so you can confidently ignore the rest. Stay tuned! I will have something later this week that will be very helpful!
That "My Brain is Full" Feeling (and what to do about it)
Can we talk about that specific moment when you're trying to learn something new—like SEO, or a new design software—and you just hit a wall? It's not imposter syndrome, where you feel like a fraud. It's different. It's that quiet, heavy feeling where the words on the screen start to blur, and a little voice whispers, "I'm just not smart enough for this. My brain doesn't work this way." You see other people talking about "search volume" and "competition ratios," and it feels like they're speaking a different language. The overwhelm is so real that you just want to close the laptop and go back to what you know you're good at—creating your beautiful products. This feeling has a name: it's learning friction. It's the natural resistance our brains have when forging new neural pathways. It's not a sign of your intelligence; it's a sign that you are actively growing. But knowing that doesn't always make it feel better in the moment. So, when you feel that wall go up, here's a simple, mindful practice to help you move through it, not just run from it. The "One Thing" Reset 1. Acknowledge the Feeling, Without Judgment. The next time that "I'm not getting this" feeling creeps in, just pause. Close your eyes for 10 seconds. Silently say to yourself, "Okay, this is frustrating. This part is hard." Don't fight it or criticize yourself for it. Just notice it, like noticing a cloud in the sky. 2. Shrink the Goal Until It's Almost Laughable. You don't need to "Master Etsy SEO" today. You don't even need to finish one whole listing. Your goal, for the next 15 minutes, is to do just one thing. - Find one potential keyword using the ABC method. - Fill out the Alt Text for one photo. - Think of one new shop section name. 3. Celebrate the "One Thing." When you've done that one, tiny thing, physically close your laptop or walk away for a minute. You did it. You engaged with the difficult task and you completed it. That is a win. Your intelligence isn't measured by how fast you learn, but by your compassion for yourself during the process. You learned your craft, you built your products, and you have everything you need to learn this, too. One small thing at a time.

Your First 10 Listings Are for Data, Not Dollars
You did it. You opened your shop, created a beautiful design, perfected your mockup, and hit "Publish" on your very first listing. You feel a rush of excitement and anticipation... and then you wait. You refresh the stats page. You check for that first "cha-ching." And most of the time, the only sound you hear is crickets. This moment of silence can be incredibly disheartening, making you question everything. I want you to know: this is normal, and it is part of the process. Let’s reframe the entire goal of your first month on Etsy. Your first 10, 20, or even 30 listings are not primarily for making sales. They are for gathering data. Think of yourself as a scientist running a series of small, low-stakes experiments. Every single listing is a new hypothesis. With each one, you are asking the Etsy ecosystem a question: Does this keyword work better than that one? Do customers click more on a lifestyle mockup or a clean, simple one? Is "sublimation design" a better tag than "PNG for tumblers"? Without listings, you have zero data. You are operating completely in the dark. But with even a handful of listings, you start to get clues. You can go into your Etsy Stats and see which keywords are bringing you views (even if they don't lead to sales yet). You can see which of your mockups are getting the most "visits," meaning people saw it in the search results and chose to click. This information is pure gold. It is the raw material you will use to build a successful shop. So, here is your mission: focus on getting your first 10-20 listings live, and do it with an experimental mindset. Don't use the exact same 13 tags on every single design. Vary your titles slightly. Try different primary mockup photos. The goal is not perfection; the goal is information. A "win" in your first month isn't a sale (though that's a fantastic bonus!). A win is discovering a keyword that got you 5 views. A win is learning that a certain style of mockup gets more clicks. Let go of the pressure to be an overnight success and embrace your role as a creative scientist. The dollars will follow the data.
